Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor penned an open letter responding to a recent assessment by Mani Shankar Aiyar regarding his political positions and character.

Congress's Mani Shankar Aiyar, known for his controversial statements on multiple issues, this time advised his party's senior leader Rahul Gandhi to leave INDIA Bloc's driving seat to leaders of the regional parties.

The Congress party has distanced itself from Mani Shankar Aiyar's prediction of a Left victory in Kerala, but Aiyar has asserted his continued alignment with the party.

A statement by veteran politician Mani Shankar Aiyar, advocating for Vijayan, has sparked a significant row within India's Congress party, prompting the party to distance itself from his remarks. The incident highlights internal political tensions and differing viewpoints within the party.

Veteran Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar asserted Mamata Banerjee is crucial for the INDIA bloc's survival, urging Rahul Gandhi to cede leadership to smaller parties. Aiyar, who expressed admiration for Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, also voiced contempt for Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera. The party has since distanced itself from Aiyar's controversial statements.

Veteran leader Mani Shankar Aiyar asserts that the Congress party historically thrives on internal dissent and warns that suppressing it leads to downfall.

Veteran politician Mani Shankar Aiyar has once again caused embarrassment for the Congress party with his recent remarks, drawing criticism and forcing the party to distance itself.

Indian politicians Shashi Tharoor and Mani Shankar Aiyar are publicly clashing over Tharoor's remarks on the Iran-US conflict, with Aiyar criticizing Tharoor's position as a 'moral surrender'.

Amid a series of controversial remarks, senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar said if the party cannot accept dissidents, it is the party's "doom".

Mani Shankar Aiyar's critique of "Rahulian" politics sparks debate on the Congress's ideological shift from Nehruvianism to civil society influence. Analyst Rasheed Kidwai suggests Aiyar, though isolated, highlights a party increasingly shaped by non-dogmatic, issue-driven approaches, moving away from traditional party structures and veteran leadership's influence.

Mani Shankar Aiyar invoked B.R. Ambedkar after the Congress distanced itself from his praise of Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan government. Aiyar criticized Rahul Gandhi and Pawan Khera, calling Khera a "puppet" and "parrot." He expressed contempt for Khera and questioned the party's handling of dissent, contrasting it with Nehru's era.
